Ferencvaros vs Ludogorets Razgrad prediction: Hosts to turn the tie around?
Key stats
- Ferencvaros have averaged 2.66 bookings per game in the Europa League main stage this season.
- Four of Ludogorets’ last five away matches in the competition have seen both teams score.
- Ferencvaros have won three of their previous four home H2Hs, the last two by multiple-goal margins.
- Ludogorets have lost four of their five trips to Hungary in major European competitions (W1).
Correct score prediction: Ferencvaros 3–1 Ludogorets
Ferencvaros suffered a 2–1 defeat in Razgrad last week despite arguably being the better side for large spells. However, they responded positively with a 3–1 league victory at MTK Budapest at the weekend, giving them renewed momentum heading into Thursday’s decisive second leg.
Confidence is further boosted by the Greens’s strong home record in the Europa League, having won six of their last eight such matches, including a 3–1 victory over Ludogorets during the league phase earlier this season.
Robbie Keane’s side have also won their last two home games in all competitions by multiple-goal margins, suggesting they have the firepower to overturn the deficit.
Meanwhile, Ludogorets’ struggles on the road in Europe remain a concern, with the Bulgarian champions losing 13 of their last 20 away games in the Europa League main draw. In addition, their six-game unbeaten run came to an end with a 2–1 league defeat at 10-man Botev Plovdiv, which may dent confidence heading into this clash.

Player to watch: Yusuf Bamidele
Yusuf Bamidele scored Ferencvaros’ equaliser in the first leg, taking his Europa League tally to three goals — the most in the squad this season.
Although the attacker only made a substitute appearance at the weekend, he could return to the starting XI here and may prove crucial if Ferencvaros are to turn the tie around.
